In my case, I wouldn't think so as I am using a 4 axis xylotex and a PMDX-106 spindle motor controller accessed by the BOB on the xylotex. I hope someday to graduate to a more capable machine which may require your interfaces though. I just ordered one of those StarTech parport boards from Newegg that there was a link to in a previous message. Would the instructions I gave not work for that? This one also claims to support the BPP mode, but that is a new acronym to me so I suppose I better checkout my googlefu. Claims 2.7 megabytes/second transfer rates, but I'd think that would have to be on well terminated cabling only. Thanks Jon. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
